Oooh oooh oooh, I used to be in love with this man when I was 19!

Okay,he began his career as the designer who took over the Perry Ellis and Perry Ellis America lines after his death.

He then moved on to have his own line (I think at the same time he was doing Perry Ellis but my memory is foggy).

The fashion world being as fickle as it is, he fell out of favor for a minute after Perry Ellis, then later his Marc Jacobs line went kaput (kinda similar to what happened to Issac Mizrahi before he disappeared, then started doing the Target thing and rebuilt his name brand). Marc's stuff back in the day was kinda hard to figure out with too many weird patterns and colors. I suspect it didn't translate well into the American designer sportswear demgraphic that made him famous with Perry Ellis.

He sort of disappeared for a minute then resurfaced with his line again, Marc Jacobs, then a secondary line, MARC, and became the darling of 7th Avenue again. Once he was the little prince again, Louis Vuitton came-a-knocking, and there it is. He's sorta like our American version of Karl Lagerfeld, designing a gazillion limes simultaneously from different fashion capitals. In the last coupla years he's been acting kinda kooky, though, gaining a milion pounds,then losing them, and the usual drug-addled nervous breakdowns that happen in the fashion industry. He looks like he's in a healthy place now. Lord knows he didn't have abs like that 20 years ago

I'm soooo disappointed with you. I'm reporting you to the gay mafia so be prepared to surrender your membership, IMMEJETLY!

But for real, my homeboy does all of Marc's photography and recently travelled all over the world shooting a coffee table book with him that should come out next year. Marc's definitely a cutey pie but that fool is CRAZAY!!! Lawd, that LV documentary was scary. I think he was using when they shot this cuz he was really strange in comparison to recent interviews.

Sans the Joyce album cover glasses, I prefer the "before" look from the neck up. His "after" look gives me Rupert Everett on lots and lots of meth.

The time spent in a gym is doing him some good, though.

I've always thought he was cute.

But NOWWWWW...

Something tells me we'd be bumpin 's

Oh, and Calhoun... as for your new 'cause', Susan Boyle, (:-p )... I think she looks better; but she gets on my last nerve, sorry. And this is BEFORE her album comes out.

Rupert fucking Everett??? Are you blind??? He's so fucking cute now, & he looks so damn happy to boot. I'm just loving his new sense of self

As designers go, I might prefer to party with Marc Jacobs or Tom Ford, but I'd take Todd Oldham home to mom. Gotta love a boy who can cut a dress on the bias, coordinate rugs and drapes and convincingly rock a Texas Longhorns ball cap.

I liked Rupert Everett... before all the bionic implants, anyway. I just think Marc looks like the wired Guido version of him, now.

But I'm not big on adornment. I like my guys plain. I'm not digging the tats or the JayZ ear bling. The beard could be hot if he only springs it on us every no and then. But, yeah, his new confidence is attractive, I guess.

Well, maybe if she grows a beard I will like her better too.

JustErin said:

Erin, please stop making fun of Calhoun's condition. She's brave for using her pic as her avvie. It can't be easy being a bearded lady.

You know what???!!!!

I wish I had Marc's chest hair. I know that sounds silly.

I'm saying, this thread has gone from me joking with CSq about her bearded avvie to you apparently wanting chest hair...

ThreadBare said:

How you know that I don't???

SCNDLS said:

Not that there's anything wrong with that...

ThreadBare said:

If I recall correctly, don't you have a thang for hairy womenfolk???
